Is $200 too much? Disneyland in January raised its top one-day ticket price to $199, for a Park Hopper ticket that gets you into both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on the same day. On the East Coast, Walt Disney World last week raised its top one-day ticket price to $219, which buys you admission into all four of Disney World’s theme parks for one day during its busiest week of the year, at Christmas.

Of course, most fans don’t buy one-day tickets to Disney theme parks. With multi-day tickets or annual passes, many visitors are paying far less than $100 a day to get through the gate at Disneyland. Forget about $200.

Yet people will pay that kind of money for entertainment away from home. I just looked online and found that if I wanted to go spend the day at Mammoth Mountain, the lift ticket alone would set me back $183. And that’s assuming that I already owned the potentially expensive skiing gear I would need to make those runs. Orchestra-level seats to see the Broadway hit “Hamilton” in San Francisco list for $200 each … if you can get them.

So I guess no one should be surprised that Universal Studios Hollywood now is charging $200 for just one evening in one land within the park. The $200 ticket is for an after-hours special event for the premiere of the park’s new The Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle show.

There’s also a merchandise element to this. Universal will put a new magic wand model on sale for the first time at the event, which will run on April 11 and 12. I imagine that some fans will see the $200 entry fee as just part of the investment needed to flip as many of these wands as they can on eBay before they go on sale to the rest of the public.

I don’t have any interest in cluttering my house with more theme park souvenirs, nor do I wish to risk my hard-earned money on some flip. But the thought of stuffing my face with fish and chips and Butterbeer does make me wonder if I could talk myself into this one.

I probably will just wait until the show opens to regular ticket holders on April 13, remembering that I can barely finish a single meal at The Three Broomsticks on my own anyway.

But I also have no doubt that Universal will find enough takers to sell out both nights of this event. Because the market seems to be telling us that when it comes to the price of theme park tickets, too much never seems to be enough.
